Stay to the Left: an Ireland Adventure
The post this week is a guest post from the man who first got me to start journaling my adventures, my father, Randy. So, yes he does have kids, but none of them are dependants. I asked him to write up a blog post on his recent trip to Ireland with my mother. I am […]
We’ve Joined Pinterest!
I have to admit like a lot of people out there Pinterest has become one of our main sources of kitten and puppy pictures. The picture-focused social media site allows its members to post images with short captions and arrange them by subject on boards. You can then share your boards and pins with others […]
The O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro, NC
I was definitely excited for this little road trip. I was ready to leave work on Thursday at noon and drive the five-and-a-half hours from Frederick to Greensboro, North Carolina and hit the town. I was sure that we’d come away from the trip with loads to tell you about the North Carolina town for […]
A Simple Retreat
The lives we live today are often busy, carrying us from here to there and filled with distraction. The distractions in our lives don’t just extend to life outside the home. We fill our homes up with distractions too, the large televisions, the computers, the wired world, the six different ways to make coffee (okay, […]
I am a time traveler
I have a confession to make: I am a time traveler. I can’t jump back in time to different points in my life whenever I want to. I don’t use an elaborate steampunky device or use the chamber from Quantum Leap; I simply pick up one of my journals and read. I have talked often […]
Celebrating Us, and Our Love for Travel
Today, Zeke and I are celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary (and about eight-and-a-half years of being each other’s favorite travel companion). We’ve stolen away to the family beach house on the Outer Banks in North Carolina and we’re enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with an autumn beach vacation. (Side note: our house-sitter reports […]
A Date in DC
I will admit that one of the perks of living in the National Capital area is we have access to the metropolitan life whenever we want it. I will also admit that being a commuter and driving 50 miles each way to work every day doesn’t have me chomping at the bit to run into the city […]
Sailing on Selina II
I will gladly admit sailing is a passion of mine. I’ve been romanced by silent slow sojourns on the water since childhood. I didn’t grow up on the water; we never owned a boat, with the exception of a canoe for fishing. But I’ve been drawn to the sea as long as I can remember. […]
The Olympics: Visiting an Olympic City
I call on the youth of the world to gather … The opening of the 30th Modern Olympic Games in London this past Friday was a spectacular event and despite the grumbling you might hear from some Londoners about the crowds and the traffic problems, I truly believe that they are loving it. The Olympic […]
What Do You Want for Vacation, Little Girl?
Remember the joy and excitement when the annual Toys ‘R Us holiday catalog was delivered? I remember poring over the pages, often many times over, checking out every last detail of the coolest toys of the season. I very clearly remember these appearing in the catalog: …and I totally wanted one (hello, who didn’t?). I […]
